Paul McCartney, a longtime peace-oriented individual, still has an opinion on President Donald Trump and the effects of his administration.
In a recent episode of the podcast The Rest Is Entertainment, the Beatle spoke about how his music sometimes has the power to unite people despite their different backgrounds and political beliefs.
"I mean particularly these days, too, you do something like 'Hey Jude' and you see this whole audience singing together," he said before turning his attention specifically to the president. "And in Trump's America — and the Republicans and Democrats all at each other's throats — when we do that song, they're not.
"They're all loving it and they're all, it's like, 'Wow, this is pretty amazing,' you know? That suddenly this room has forgotten all of that and it's not, you know, going to argue with each other. We're all just going to sing together."
A Theme in Paul McCartney's Writing
In another recent podcast interview — this time with The Rest Is History — McCartney doubled down on the idea of making music that inspires harmony and hope.
"I think it's a theme in my stuff, in my writing, that even though stuff is hard. you are going to have to carry on or let it defeat you," he said. "I think that's very much from the wartime years that all of us grew up in. We'd seen the film of Hitler's bombers, you know, clouding the sky. And you'd seen the Belson pictures of the prisoners coming out in their striped uniforms, which is why I can never believe people deny the Holocaust. I mean, that is so insane. I think that's why there was quite a rich period for us, our generation, that we could now do good stuff and say, hey, it may be bad, but we can work this out. We can work it out."

Paul McCartney STFU foreigner
THIS!!!
Idiot. Too many years of adulation and limitless income = white guilt
If only we conservatives would be a little more agreeable and complacent….then the sha-nan-igans would stop.
It seems ike conservatives are too agreeable and complacent.
It’s also been claimed he was starting to lean right politically,
You think Yoko was just going to let him do that? As Dennis Leary said, What kind of country is this where John Lennon gets six bullets in the chest, and Yoko is standing right next to him and not one bullet?
how about tax man?
In article, McCartney doesn’t blame President Trump, but he identifies USA as Trump’s America. That is a way to absolve oneself from targeting PDJT, while making sure blame is placed on President Trump. He almost gets away with it.
IOW, for the dean of entertainment industry nitwits, it's okay when phones of elected officials are being seized, homes are being raided, illegal surveillance is being conducted, lawfare based on no law is going on, ballot boxes are being stuffed, perjury is being suborned, fake evidence is being touted on media...
Paul, a nancyboy Englishgirl, thinks if we don’t give violent nutball liberals everything they want then when they throw a temper tantrum it is our fault.
He’s the type of cuck we see letting a toddler throw a tantrum and he caves.
Another life wasted by placing values before morals
Yes we are and it all started with the CLINTONS!
Zug-zug him.
